Big Dogs on Eastern's 2013-14 basketball schedule

The future of EWU basketball is seen here as Thomas Reuter (right) battles for a rebound while Martin Seiferth (12), Venky Jois (55) and Parker Kelly (far left) are ready to assist. The Eagles will not have a senior in their lineup in 2013-14 as they take on some monster teams in their non-conference schedule.

The Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team gets to hunt some big dogs and Pirates in the 2013-14 season.

The Eagles will take to the road to meet the University of Connecticut and University of Washington Huskies and the Seton Hall Pirates, using these contests to help them better prepare for Big Sky Conference play.

Third-year head coach Jim Hayford hopes those preseason tests, plus others against the likes of West Coast Conference power Saint Mary’s, will provide the proper footing for his team to return to the Big Sky postseason.
